I genuinely believe Coventry City's victory in the 87 FA Cup was what most football fans across England wanted...a great story.

Can someone please genuinely help me out , Covs 2nd goal, great free kick, but surely being inside box, was pen
@apathyintheuk2657 ай бұрын
As stated above - The free kick wasn't given for handball but an alleged high foot (didn't look that high to me) So that would come under the rules concerning either 'dangerous play' or 'obstruction', which back then resulted in an indirect free kick - even inside the penalty area.

Remember standing on The Kop for this one. We were awful that season but played well this match.We tore Spurs apart 2nd half. That Durie goal was absolutely crushing

Exactly, Spurs had a lot of problems in the run up to the final. Coventry was playing well right to the 3nd of the season while Spurs season sank at the end.

Little did we know then the absolute nightmare called SISU was in our future who would drag us down to the pits of the football league and almost into liquidation many times. Thank god they have finally packed their bags but we are still recovering from the trauma.
